We live in a diverse, ever-changing world. Each country has a distinct voice and unique cultural contributions to our global community. As a high school student, you may have traveled around the U.S. Maybe you've even caught the travel bug from international trips and vacations. If so, you know there is a whole world out there to see.
But did you know that there are more ways to gain this global experience than your typical foreign exchange or study abroad program? The Hun School of Princeton offers different global immersion trips each year. Step onboard and taste all that Paris has to offer during our three-week NextTerm program in France, or explore the beautiful country of Ghana to gain personal insights into its history and development.
Our international options give students a condensed crash-course into a life completely outside their own — providing unique lessons that will reverberate throughout their future.
High school is a pivotal time in a young adult's life. There are countless monumentally big, life-changing questions being thrown at you — and you're expected to have all the answers. Where should you go to college? What major should you choose? What's your passion or your calling in life?
Foreign high school programs can empower you to increase your self-awareness and push yourself beyond your limitations. While studying abroad may not answer all of life's daunting questions, you'll return with a better understanding of who you are and how you see yourself contributing to the world. You might be surprised by just how much you can grow in such a short span of time when you dare to move beyond your comfort zone.
In the grand scheme, study abroad programs help build a foundation for cultural competency, which includes understanding global diversity. Some schools — especially private schools such as The Hun School — offer an exchange program integrated within the curriculum. That way, high school students can learn the transferable skill of connecting through differences — whether in a foreign country or right on their future college campus.
Why are international experiences so beneficial for high school students? Nothing breaks a person from their own limited perspective like experiencing another culture, language and lifestyle. When your classroom is the world, you'll learn more than you ever could studying within just four walls. Plus, you'll have the adventure of a lifetime along the way.
At The Hun School, we encourage every high school student to challenge their views and build confidence in a dynamic, supportive environment. Located in Princeton, NJ, the school's 45-acre campus is located just 45 miles from Philadelphia and 50 miles from New York City.
The Hun Upper School offers an innovative approach to learning, including college preparation, college counseling programs, and experiential and travel-based learning opportunities. For three weeks each May, freshmen, sophomores, and juniors participate in one of 16 immersion learning NextTerm courses. In each credited course, students explore real-world topics through problem-based, interdisciplinary learning that includes local, domestic, or international travel.
Studying abroad at The Hun School equips high school students with real-world experiences, helping them succeed in college and create a more inclusive and compassionate world.
